The Virtual Explosion: YouTube’s Success Soars Off the Charts
After that fateful dinner party, where Hurley and Chen wanted to create a simpler way to share their videos of the night, they immediately went to work creating the answer. “In February, we started developing the product,” says Hurley. “In May, we had our first public preview. And in December, we officially launched YouTube. By that time we were serving over three million videos a day.”

Lesson #2: Give Them Something They Cannot Get Anywhere Else
Have you ever wanted to see a specific re-run of “I Love Lucy” or “Gumby” that you have not seen since you were a teenager? Do you want to get your hands on the very first music video Michael Jackson ever filmed? Perhaps you want to watch the entire KISS movie “Phantom of the Park?” Whatever your interests, YouTube has the videos to match.

Lesson #3: Viral Marketing Could Be Vital For Your Business
YouTube did not just grow to become the virtual monster that it is today simply because it made it easier for people to upload and watch videos, although it did that too. Instead, it was a carefully planned strategy on the parts of Hurley and Chen to engage in a campaign of viral marketing that helped take YouTube to the where it is today.

The Dynamic Digital Duo: How Hurley and Chen Manufactured Success

“We’re not in a hurry,” Hurley once said. “We’re interested in building our community. We’re trying to improve discovery. We’re trying to improve the experience for people on our site.” They might not have been in a hurry, but their site sure grew in one. Today, YouTube has almost half of the online video market, and is still growing. How did a university dropout and a boy who loved to draw become the industry leaders they are considered now?

And there’s always a lot of confusion in the beginning and different ways of thinking about it as a business. And that’s what I’ve always loved doing is being out there on the front, figuring that out for the first time.”

Creating an Internet Presence

Creating an internet presence requires more effort than building a website and hiring a geek to manage your Facebook page. And don't think you can learn about it in a two day seminar.
